Americans do it for tanks and planes
Germans do it for tanks
Russians do it for planes
Minor nations complain because we get screwed every update
Everyone complains.
True.
The art of balance is to achieve, that everyone complains on a similar level … 😄
I’ve been playing early jets lately after finally being done with all props. And man, the 8.0-9.0 BR range really shows the flaws of the EC design.
There are some very simple little things that the game would benefit massively from. One of them would be simply having more AI targets, both in the air and on the ground/sea. Bot waves should spawn much more often and on both sides. Last match I played I spent a good 40 minutes flying around before the first wave of enemy AI attackers spawned. Sometimes multiple waves of bots spawn for the other team to destroy.

Ground targets trigger bot waves.
Cap point A on enemy territory, blue arrow appears, attackers spawn.
Yeah, and it’s very much map dependent. Frequency, respawn rate and even existence of certain target types (bases, ground balltes, convoys, ships) is very inconsistent between maps…
Tunisia for example has very few bases that spawn very unfrequently, in Sinai ground battle events sometimes don’t spawn until later in the match and there’s no ships (in one of the most busy sea lanes globally), Denmark is usually quite generous in everything, …

US is good, only there is the fact that F-15A is from 1972 and EF 2000 is 2003. I do not say that F15A is worst. On a distance missailsfight, thay both has the same chance, but at the dogfight, EF 2000 wins everytime, F-18 now has set chances to the balance, but is still 30years older. I am for adding F-22, wich is 1997, the only thing I fear is that F-22 would become the best fighter in the game, and with its stealth ability, it would fly without any threat, a specialy in SB.
well, would lack HMD. but in gun-only dogfight or BVR probably gonna be one of best, if not just best.
F22 will cone only with other nations equivalent and not any time sooner
Bollocks, America will have the F-22 for half a year and then cry when China and Russia gets the Su-57 and J-20.

F22 doesn’t belong in War Thunder in War Thunder’s current state.
Before even thinking of adding 5th gen from a sim perspective, Gaijin needs to improve gameplay by updating objectives and AI behaviors, adding more objectives, adding more maps to sim, etc. Just like this thread is about. Otherwise 5th gen will be worse than 4th gens in terms of what they did to the current state of the game.
And I’m sure RB would like updated objectives and AI with the addition of EC maps to RB as well before 5th gens get added.

That’s what I’m worried about. 5th gens get added because "hype, and money"before game improvements, etc.
Watch, there will be a YF-22 prototype premium for the US in the future to milk idiotic US mains for money, just like they did with F-20A and F/A-18C Early… Meanwhile there’s no higher rank Soviet/Russian, Chinese or French premium.

What about rewarding two minits after the acion? You kill, survie for two minits and get a reward?
And then J-out and respawn? ))
Bot farmers will be happy )

Well, yes, but there can be a cooldown, if you J out mid flight with no damige you get a cooldown for 7minits? Just like in RAB.
Why would you want more maps? The gameplay is the problem roflmao.
Batter would be haveing bigger maps then more.
I disagree.
Currently we have very few maps (Afghanistan, part of Vietnam and Spain) where terrain plays a role and can be used tactically. The rest are basically just flat.
I’d be all for more maps with interesting terrain, like for example the Alps…

Oh no… This will harm “sim” players that takeoff, spam 120s and just watch.
